I need to create a unique temporary file and use it with C++ streams.
With older C++ libraries under Linux (RH 7.3/G++ 2.96/libstdc++-2.96), I
could use mkstemp() to create and open file and then make it a stream by
passing the fd to fstream(). The newer iostream library does not seem to
have this conversion available. I could use one of the other temp file
creation function, by they all say 'don't use this function, it is a
security risk, use mkstemp() instead'. So, how do I deal with this?
Not use C++ iostreams? Write insecure code? Write my own fstream class
that is layered on top of file descriptors (yech!).
